R&B singer-songwriter and Odd Future rapper Frank Ocean revealed details of his own sexuality in a message posted to his Tumblr page. In a rambling but heartfelt note, Ocean outlined his first time falling in love — with a man. “4 summers ago, I met somebody. I was 19 years old. He was too,” wrote Ocean, who rose to stardom last year following his work with Kanye West and Jay-Z on their 2011 album, Watch the Throne. “By the time I realized I was in love, it was malignant. It was hopeless. There was no escaping, no negotiating with the feeling. No choice.” It is good to actually see big stars coming out and actually talking about their sexuality openly and proudly. This gives other people the confidence to know that there absolutely isn’t anything wrong with how they feel towards the opposite sex and also that they don’t have to keep everything bottled in. They should actually feel free to talk about things like this openly. This post is to re-assure people that emotions come and go and can’t be controlled so there’s no reason to worry or be ashamed about them.
